HC Deb 04 June 1956 vol 553 c31W
41. Mr. J. Eden

asked the Minister of Health, as a result of his survey of the hospital and other services for the chronic sick, what instructions he has given to local authorities concerning additional accommodation for elderly sick persons.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

My right hon. Friend's assessment of the results of this survey is not yet quite completed. He will then consult the associations representing local authorities before giving general guidance.
